Common Questions In Louisiana

We answer common queries our Louisianian visitors ask about betting, bonuses & gambling in general.

Is online betting legal in Louisiana?

Yes. The process of legalizing online sports betting in Louisiana began in 2020, and was finalized in 2022. The state also allows apps and websites offering fantasy sports and social sportsbooks operating under the sweepstakes model.

Are online casinos legal in Louisiana?

No, Louisiana prohibits online casinos using real money. It is however possible for Louisianians to play at sweepstakes/social casinos. There are options to play either for free or with coins redeemable for prizes and real currency. 

What gambling alternatives are legal in Louisiana?

The state of Louisiana has legalized online sports betting, and allows several other alternatives to traditional gambling.

  • Online sports betting ✅
  • Daily fantasy sports & pick'em sites ✅
  • Social / sweepstakes casinos & sportsbooks ✅
  • Prediction markets (without sports contracts) ✅
What is the legal gambling age in Louisiana?

Louisiana has a very strict 21+ policy on most forms of gambling. This includes land based tribal casinos, online sports betting, slots, video poker and the state lottery. This also includes social casinos, prediction markets and fantasy sites, even though they normally require 18+ in other states. 

The exceptions to the rule are horse racing, where players can place pari-mutuel bets, and charity games such as bingo and raffles, which are available from 18+. 

Can I play Louisiana video poker online?

Louisiana does not allow real-money online casinos, which means that you can't just visit a website, deposit a few bucks and play video poker on the internet.

It is however possible to play casino games (including video poker) on social casinos operating under the sweepstakes model. This means using virtual currency such as coins or tokens, but in some cases they might be redeemable for prizes and real money.

Does Louisiana tax gambling winnings?

Yes, winnings from online sports betting and other forms of gambling are considered taxable income in Louisiana. Since 2025, the rate is a flat 3%, and some sportsbooks may withhold the amount at the time of payout. Non-residents gambling in LA will have to submit a non-resident tax return. 

In addition to LA state tax, federal taxes also apply, and gambling winnings must be submitted as taxable income. Bigger wins usually leads to the sportsbook sending out a W-2G Form to be filled out and sent in.
